Any way to use only the Window Catalogue? (also reporting a bug)

Postby Melon » 27.02.2016 19:50:21

Hello,

Is there a way to only use the window catalogue and not everything else like virtual desktops, etc? Or maybe even changing the number of virtual desktops to 1 (which I can't) would be great. No other window cataloguing/exposé-like software is as good as this one in my experience.

I'd also like to report a bug regarding the window catalogue. I'm on Windows 8.1 x64 and if I invoke the window catalogue with my shortcut, all the windows, even the ones minimized are displayed as I want them, but if I select one of the windows that was minimized before, It would remain minimized and I'd have to select it via other means.

Feel free to ask me any other information you need to diagnose/fix this issue.

Thank you very much.

:dex:,

1) Decrease 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Dexpot\DesktopZahl' to decimal 1 when Dexpot is not running.
2) Does the minimizing issue apply to specific windows only? No chance of reproducing it on our machines here.

Your solution worked perfectly, thank you very much!

I'm having trouble reproducing the issue after I restarted my computer. (I leave my computer on for a long time usually)
I'll report as soon as I see if it happens again.

Thank you again!

So it seems when dexpot is running in administrator mode, minimized windows of applications running in administrator mode do not maximize when selected via window catalogue.

Not running dexpot in administrator mode seems to fix this problem!
I'll shall report any other issues I come across.

My mistake, the issue persists regardless of running dexpot or the selected application in administrator mode or not.
